Capitalism 2.0 Will Include a Healthy Dose of Socialism

I'm sorry, but that was not what I saw. I was in Colorado Springs last year, and went to a dispensary. I bought an eighth of the best they had, and it was complete shit. The morons in the shop left all of the bud containers open, and the bud crumbled to dust with just a little squeeze. I smoked it anyway, and only got a slight buzz, never stoned.

I was embarrassed for the people of Colorado.

Alright, I take your point.

I have been to many dozens of Colorado dispensaries and a lot of them are shadier than shit. Anybody making the point that the laws apply to them clearly has no idea what they are talking about. The idea that there is some sort of reliable "seed to stem" accounting that functionally applies is clearly being disingenuous or just plain ignorant. If you have the good shit, the dispensary owner will gladly meet you in back of a Burger King with a bag of cash.

My point remains, Tty's weed is crap and if anybody left the lid off of it in dry weather, it would turn into a bag of dust and pubic hair. I seen it.

Thank god Florida is humid and that 70 year olds generally don't know shit about weed.

socialist aren't very popular with the common man...most of them translate "socialist" as "pushy commie"....
Which is mostly just ignorance on multiple levels. A social economy is not the same thing as a socialist economy. And research shows that if all voters would actually (get a chance to) vote, that’s pretty much what most americans want. Especially the common man. Heck, even 45% of republicans agree with 70% marginal tax on the very rich. Which wouldn’t make the US socialist, it’s not like a zombie virus.

And those who are quick to shout commie usually don’t realize communist China and Brazil are in the top3 America’s bankers... as in US treasury bond holders. To finance the US partly, while Trump hands out billions to farmers who cry socialism the loudest.

As typical in the US it’s taken to extremes. While there’s also such a thing as a mixed economy. As soon as something overlaps with what socialists would do, even if it’s something most eligible voters actually want, even if it’s just common sense, even if it improves the economy a lot, many Americans (left and right) get this Pavlov reaction and scream commie or “look at Venezuela”. Indoctrination from the Reagan era or something. But spending 55-60% of federal tax on military is okay. :confused:

All these often misused labels (including “liberal” and “leftie”) are not productive unless you are teaching or learning politics, not when you practice politics. Do what’s logically, scientifically and sensibly best and call it Amereconomism.

i did not say that was how i saw it, i said that was how most of them see it. i try to slowly enlighten those i have to spend time with...with limited success. but i have to spend time with very few of them. so the process of enlightenment goes slowly....

Yeah she looks promising

You’re still a nazi
Sure has some very desirable traits and ideas. Education, science, lgbt rights, anti-misogyny, equality for and by intellectual women who don’t let vile patriarchal religions keep them down.

But damn “nazis” demanding muslim immigrants to respect and even contribute to that.

You’ll always be UncleBuck.

It’s more about your desire to send Muslim people to re-education camps

It’s more about your tendency to extremist strawmen. You’re the one thinking of sending people to camps. Which is weird cause they are already at a facility when they arrive, where they are taught voluntary anal sex is ok and suprise vagina sex is bad.

We don’t send immigrants to camps like the US does, we send them to school, where they are forced by the Immigration and Naturalization department to take a civil integration course and pass an exam. :o We could of course instead pretend there is no immigration issue thereby giving ammo to far right who demand closed borders...

And you’re still a hypocrite to suggest Islamic influence is any better than the christians fucking up the US. We got a political party for and by muslims, it’s called Think, and as the name implies they are tea party level retarded.
